Can I buy this now and download it next week when the parts for my new system arrive? Also, does this activate in steam? (I thought it does, just double checking)
I've been wanting to buy a evga 670, and have seen the vanilla model in stock several times on their website, but now I'm afraid they may be no chance of getting one that will overclock well as it may just be a bad SC model.....
Gonna mull it over for the next few days but the 2500 CPU and 6950 see to be certain. Was thinking in a few months I could always add in a ssd. I coupons for microcenter also so probably get most parts there except maybe the ram, video card, and possibly psu from the egg. Appreciate all the insight!
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc 90% gaming. BFBC2, TF2, BF3
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $1200
3) Where do you live? Ohio. Have a Microcenter within driving distance
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU...
Thanks for the response. I realize I can set it to 720p but what I meant was the monitor is 1080p native and not all PS3 games display in 1080, only 720. I was wondering how the monitor would handle the 720p.
I was looking at getting a Acer G245H monitor to use for xbox/ ps3 gaming. I know the xbox scales everything to 1080p, but what will happen to the image from the PS3 if it's in 720p? Will it shrink the picture or fill the screen and if it fills is it going to look bad since it's not native rez...
I am selling a mini-itx box that I put together about 2 months ago and just don't use much so I'd rather have the money for other things I need. Specs are as follows:
-Zotac IonITX-F-E Intel Atom 330 motherboard w/ built in wifi, hdmi, etc
-Apex MI-008 case
-2x2gb Crucial Ballistix DDR2 ram...
I have the following for sale. Both items are in like new condition and have been used less than 8 hours. All prices are shipped and I accept verified, non-cc paypal only for payment. Items will be shipped via FedEx and I will email a tracking # to buyer when shipped.
I have heat feedback...
Well I stupidly and mistakingly decided I wanted to use my tax money to jump back into pc gaming. I've decided it just isn't feasible being hooked up to my hdtv and don't have room in my small apartment for a desk so I'd like to pass this system on to someone who would better appreciate it at a...
I've got a quick question. Just put my system together the other day and am getting around to messing with unlocking cores and overclocking. I have a 550be and a Asus M4a790xt evo motherboard. I was surprised when I went in that voltages and everything are all set to auto. What voltage is stock...
Forgive me if this is simple, I tried searching. I just finished putting my new system together. I have a XFX 5850 and a Asus M4A79XTD EVO motherboard. I have the system running through HDMI to my pioneer reciever and am getting video fine but I cant get any audio. I have installed all drivers...
Thanks guys. The i5 is $190 at Microcenter. Any thoughts on a good board to put it on for a good oc? The EVGA P55 LE looks pretty slick but not sure if it's good. I'm not too in the loop on the newer intel stuff.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a new gaming build and have settled on a XXX 5870, 4gb of G.Skill Ripjaw, 750w Corsair psu, and a Lian Li K62 case. I'm trying to decide if I should go with a i5-750 or a AMD 550be if I knew I could get one that unlocks all 4 cores. Mainly would play TF2 and MW2...
Picked this up last night, but haven't got to play yet. Looking to add to my friends list so feel free to add me. Mention you're from the forums. PSN is xx_shiv_xx.
Not sure if it's your particular case, but over the summer my friends pc went out. Had no video and USB ports were dead. At first I figured the motherboard shorted but we swapped out the video card and all was well again. Granted his system is old and it was an AGP card, so that may or may not...
SOLD
Hey guys, I am selling a gaming rig that I built on 7/11/2009. Has just been used to test for break in and includes the following:
-AMD Phenom II 550 Black Edition with ALL 4 CORES UNLOCKED RUNNING @ 3.6ghz
-XFX 4890 1 gb video card currently running @ 1000mhz core/ 1025mhz mem...
Seems like I'm hitting a wall at 3.6 on my 550. I've bumped the vcore .5 and got to that with just changing the multiplier but after that even if I bump the voltage more I can't get it stable. Should I change any other settings along with the vcore? Running a Gigabyte GA-790X-UDP4. Was hoping to...
